PREFACE. 


^rjjlTH  the  issue  of  this,  the  tenth  edition  of  our  full 

**  illustrated  catalogue,  designed  primarily  for  the 
dealers’  retail  trade,  we  take  the  opportunity  to  make 
acknowledgement  of  the  kind  favors  accorded  us  in  theV 
past. 

This  we  do,  not  as  a mere  formality  or  in  compliance 
with  an  established  custom,  but  with  a keen  appreciation 
of  the  gratifying  increase  of  our  trade,  and  the  entire 
satisfaction  on  the  part  of  agents  and  their  customers 
everywhere  exhibited. 

The  liberal  patronage  received,  we  feel  warranted  in 
assuming  to  be  a just  tribute  to  our  principles  of  honest 
goods,  honorable  dealing,  and  that  enterprise  which 
strives  to  meet  and  even  anticipate  the  wants  of  the  trade. 

Believing  that  all  legitimate  competition  is  fair  and 
equitable,  we  can  see  no  benefit  to  be  derived  from  de- 
nouncing rival  houses  as  cold-blooded,  soulless  monopo- 
lists, or  heartless  money-grabbers;  and,  in  coi^uon  with 
all  reputable  manufacturers  of  the  same  goods,  we  can  but 
disapprove  of  the  senseless  abuse,  deliberate  mis-state- 
ments, and  other  questionable  methods  employed  by  some 
whose  zeal  and  diligence  in  business  exceeds  their  dis- 
cretion and  regard  for  truth.  To  our  old  friends  and 
agents,  who  have  made  the  Sterling  a household  word 


I 


1’KtFAt'K. 


throughout  the  laud,  we  beg  to  present  our  best  wishes 
for  their  future  prosperity,  and  from  them,  as  well  as 
those  who  have  never  been  brought  into  relations  with 
us,  we  would  ask  a careful  inspection  of  our  latest  edition, 
trusting  to  continue  the  present  associations,  and  to  form 
others  that  will  likewise  prove  to  our  mutal  profit  and 
advantage.

The  wide-spread  popularity  and  enormous  sale  attained  by  our  Imperial 
in  the  seasons  past,  stands  unequaled  in  the  annals  of  organ  manufac- 
ture. For  its  worthy  successor,  our  superb  style,  the  New  Imperial,  we 
feel  justified  iu  predieting  a fame  as  exalted  and  a sale  as  extensive.  The 
ease  is  constructed  w ith  brilliantly-figured  walnut,  embellished  with  ser- 
rate fascias,  or  ehevrous.  and  is  crowned  by  a top  of  imposing  height,  com- 
bining architectural  beauty  with  practical  utility,  in  perfect  accord.  A 
spacious  balcony,  supported  by  two  consoles,  forms  a convenient  recep- 
luclc  for  music,’ and  is  overshadowed  by  a canopy,  or  baldachin,  whose 
projection  constitutes  au  additional  poehc.  We  claim  for  this  handsome 
top  a novelty  and  a departure  from  the  usual  hackneyed  styles,  which 
will  find  Instant  appreciation  by  all  lovers  of  a chaste  simplicity,  united 
to  a quiet  elegauce,  free  from  all  meretriciousness.  The  entire  case  and 
top  are  illuminated  iu  superb  fashion — the  golden  foliations  stauding  out 
in  brilliant  coutrast  with  the  variegated  tints  of  the  wood,  and  giving  to 
the  design  a tone  of  unexampled  richness  and  artistic  grace.

Length,  4 ft.  2 in.;  Width,  2 ft.;  Height,  G ft. 


This  royally  magnificeut  design,  partaking  somewhat  of  the  Composite 
order,  is  of  a character  widely  differing  from  any  yet  offered  to  the  public. 
One  of  its  distinguishing  features  are  the  ebou  panels,  sculptured  with  fan- 
ciful designs  in  basso  kklikvo — the  startling  clearness  of  outline  and  deli- 
cacy of  carving,  impartiug  to  this  rare  decoratiou  an  air  of  refined  elegance 
and  artistic  beauty  quite  recherche.  The  ornamented  pilasters,  crowued 
by  Tuscan  capitals;  the  graceful  columus  supporting  carved  volutes ; the 
flanking  buttresses,  which  add  to  the  massiveness  and  solidity  of  the  struc- 
ture : the  elaborate  carving  and  studied  ornamentation  of  the  miuor  details 
of  the  design— nil  unmistakably  award  to  this  imposing  style  the  palm  of 
superiority,  due  only  to  the  product  of  a rare  icsthetic  culture,  supplemented 
by  a thorough  practical  knowledge  and  keen  insight  as  to  the  popular  de- 
mand. The  case  is  of  solid  black  walnut,  firmly  constructed  ; the  finish,  of 
a satiu-like  sheen  : the  action,  of  our  improved  pattern  ; while  it  is  hardly 
necessary  to  add  that  the  tone  will  be  of  that  same  high  standard  which  in 
the  past  it  has  been  our  pride  to  maintain.  Elegant  in  all  its  appointments, 
this  superb  masterpiece  of  musicul  art  is  a fit  occupant  for  luxurious 
boudoir  or  stately  drawing-room.  With  its  regal  beauty  of  form  aud  chaste 
adornment,  it  stands  ronli  the  embodiment  of  classical  grace  and  tin-  ideal 
representative  of  Apol’o's  art.

Length,  3 ft.  11  in.;  Width,  2 ft.:  Height,  4 ft.  2 in. 

This  chaste  design  is  characterized  by  a symmetry  of 
outline  and  a pre-Kaphaelite  completeness  of  details,  that 
leaves  nothing  wanting  or  unfinished,  and  forms  a strik- 
ing and  agreeable  contrast  to  the  unsightly  structures 
whose  showy  and  too  elaborate  ornamentation  point  them 
out  as  the  products  of  the  worst  expression  of  had  taste. 

Wo  beg  to  call  attention  to  the  fact,  that  the  general  de- 
sign of  our  organ  is  in  perfect  consonance  with  the  style 
in  which  the  interior  of  many  of  our  churches  and  chap- 
els are  at  present  fashioned,  while,  at  the  same  time,  it  is 
not  of  so  pronounced  a character,  hut  that  it  is  adapted  to 
any  school  of  architecture,  and  is  equally  suited  for 
church  or  chapel,  parlor  or  boudoir. 

The  tone  of  these  instruments  is  sweet,  yet  strong,  and  . 
whether  their  rich,  clear  notes  rise  in  harmony  with  so- 
cial song  in  the  privacy  of  the  family  circle,  or  swelling 
more  powerfully,  lead  the  chorus  of  a worshiping  assem- 
bly. they  will  be  found  to  possess  that  purity  and  lasting  | 
quality  of  tone  for  which  they  have  been  so  justly  praised,  j

DIRECTIONS  FOR  THE  PRESERVATION 
AND  CARE  OF  OUR  ORGANS. 

The  Organ  should  not  be  exposed  to  extremes  of  heat, 
eold  or  dampness,  but,  as  far  as  practicable,  an  equable 
temperature  in  the  room  should  be  maintained. 

I Proximity  to  a stove  or  intense  furnace  heat,  is  liable  to 
cause  the  wood-work  to  warp  and  split,  and  exposure  in  a 
damp  situation  will  frequently  cause  the  seasoned  ma- 
terial of  the  action  to  swell, so  that  it  works  with  difficulty 
or  proves  non-effective. 

When  the  instrument  is  not  in  use,  the  stops  should  all 
he  shut,  except  the  Vox  Humana,  which  leave  drawn  out. 
The  “fall,"  or  cover  over  the  key-board,  should  remain 
open,  as  the  ivory  keys  are  apt  to  turn  yellow  by  the  ab- 
sence of  light. 

Keys  that  have  become  discolored  can,  in  some  cases,  he 
improved  by  exposure  to  the  direct  action  of  the  sunlight 
through  a closed  window. 

Care  should  be  taken,  when  dust  is  caused  by  sweeping, 
4c.,  that  the  instrument  is  closed  and  covered  with  a 
cloth,  as  particles  of  dust  drawn  into  the  reeds  will  pre- 
vent their  vibration. 


TO  REMOVE  THE  REEDS. 


Should  a reed  become  broken,  or  have  its  vibration  so 
interfered  with  as  to  emit  either  a false  tone  or  none  at 
all,  the  following  directions  will  enable  any  one  to  obtain 
access  to  the  different  sets: — 

For  the  Flute,  Principal  and  Celeste  Sets,  -which  are  on  the 
Front  Side  of  the  Reed-Board. 

Remove  the  “key-slip"  (the  piece  of  wood  which  con- 
tains the  lock),  by  taking  out  the  round-headed  screw  at 


eacli  end.  liaise  the  front  swell,  and  by  placing  a wedge 
under  it.  the  hands  are  at  liberty  to  remove  the  reeds. 
By  drawing  the  proper  stops,  the  mutes  will  be  raised  and 
the  reeds  made  accessible  for  examination. 

For  the  Diapason.  Lulciana  and  La  Brilliante  Sets,  which 
are  on  the  Back  of  the  Reed-Board. 

Remove  the  back  of  the  organ,  which  is  held  in  by  two 
buttons,  except  in  Chapel  styles,  where  there  are  four 
screws ; raise  the  back  swell. and  proceed  as  in  the  ease  of 
the  front  sets.  The  front  part  of  each  swell  is  fastened  to 
the  main  portion  by  five  (5)  screws,  and  can  be  removed 
if  found  to  obstruct  the  free  removal  of  the  Celeste  and 
I, a Brilliante  reeds. 

If  any  difficulty  is  experienced  in  removing  the  lower 
Diapason  reeds,  owing  to  the  proximity  of  the  Sub-Bass 
box,  take  off  the  upper  half  of  the  same,  fastened  by  a 
hook  at  each  end;  draw  out  the  pitman  or  wooden  pins 
which  open  the  Sub-Bass  valves,  and  remove  the  ten 
screws  (five  on  each  side)  which  fasten  the  lower  half  to 
the  reed-board. 

The  first  operation  will  also  give  access  to  the  Sub-Bass 
reeds,  should  they  require  attention.  If  the  Suit-Bass 
valves  do  not  open  enough  to  allow  the  reeds  to  speak, 
turn  the  eye  screws  in  the  top  of  the  pitmen  to  the  left, 
once  or  twice. 

To  remove  the  reeds  of  the  various  sets  from  their  cells, 
a reed-hook  will  be  found  attached  to  the  inside  of  the 
back  of  each  organ,  ami,  when  in  use,  should  be  placed  in 
the  notch  in  the  protruding  end  of  the  reed  and  not  thrust 
in  so  far  as  to  injure  the  delicate  tongue.
